That is, indeed, very exciting news! Hopefully it will take and the birth will be successful! The zoo has worked so hard on making a breakthrough with AI in Indian rhinos, that it'd be nice if their work was finally rewarded with a successful, healthy calf that survives to adulthood.... That said, I really do just wish that they'd bring in a bull for natural breeding. I just feel as though there was a lot of lost potential for surviving calves to add to the captive population with the push for AI on Nikki, and I'd hate to see the same happen with Manjula.

I'm glad to hear that she will not be sitting idle while Klyde is still on loan to Sedgwick County like was originally planned! Do you know when the new male will be arriving? And with that news, will Klyde even be returning at this point?
